After Lu Fengnian left with his family, Su Yan took Lu Ting into the space for a nap, and went to the cherry shed to store all the early-ripening red light cherries, early beautiful cherries and yellow honey cherries into the warehouse.
After harvesting the cherries, she went up the mountain to harvest Feizishao, Nuomici, and Guiwei lychees.
After harvesting the lychees, I thought the weather was getting hotter, so I peeled a pound of fresh lychees to make iced lychee drinks.
As soon as Lu Ting woke up, Su Yan handed him a lychee drink and said, "It's hot, have a drink before going to work."
Lu Ting took a sip, and the rich aroma of lychees filled his nose. "You went up the mountain to pick lychees."
"We harvested them all, but not the late-ripening varieties."
"There are still some unsold dried lychees in the warehouse from last year. I don't plan to dry them this year. Can you sell all these fresh lychees next week?"
"Sure, lychees are only found in the south, so they're easy to sell in Beijing. Yanyan, why are there so many southern fruits in your space?"
She had been born in the south in her previous life, so wasn't it normal for her to grow tropical fruits in her base? However, her hometown had a good climate, so there was almost no fruit that couldn't be grown. She had also grown northern apples quite well in greenhouses.
"I don't know about that either. I just got this space like this. It seems to have fruits from all over the country. By the way, hasn't our courtyard been rented out yet?"
"I haven't found the right person yet. If we don't rent it out, we can just transport the fruit and other things we want to sell to the courtyard, and I'll have someone come and pick it up when the time comes."
"Then we'll go back to the courtyard next Saturday, and you can contact the buyer in the next few days."
"good."
Su Yan saw that it was getting late, so she took out a basket of cherries and three baskets of lychees.
"I'm going to school. You should find a way to deal with these fruits. Don't let Yiming eat too many lychees when I'm not at home. Lychees can cause internal heat."
"good."
Thinking that there was not much rice and noodles at home, Su Yan took out another bag from the space. Anyway, her aunt would not enter their master bedroom, and she believed that Lu Ting had a way to get these things out himself.
The next morning, Lu Ting asked Hua Jing to take Lu Yiming to the soap factory for a walk. He took advantage of this opportunity to move out all the fruits and grains. When he got off work at noon, he gave a basket of lychees to his parents and a basket to his father-in-law.
A basket of lychees weighs at least 30 kilograms. For people who like to eat lychees, there is absolutely no problem eating several kilograms of lychees a day.
This was Qin Xiaofang's first time eating lychees. After all, it was a southern fruit, and she had hardly ever seen fresh lychees. She had only seen canned lychees in places like the supply and marketing cooperative.
When Hua Min asked her to eat lychees, she almost didn't dare to eat them. Hua Min thought she was being polite, so she grabbed a handful of lychees and branches from the basket and put them on the table.
"Thanks to my son, we can eat fresh lychees again this year. Xiaofang, please enjoy some."
"Where did Xiao Ting buy those lychees? Aren't lychees from the south used as tribute at state banquets in Beijing?"
Hua Min didn't expect that Qin's sister-in-law knew this. Lychees are not fresh. It takes a long time to transport lychees from the south to the north and they are easily burned. It is rare to see fresh lychees in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
"My son's comrade-in-arms is from the south. Thinking of the children at home, my son asked him to bring some to Beijing."
Her son's comrades-in-arms were all over the country, and she had no idea where the lychees came from, so she could only make up a lie.
She figured that these lychees must have been bought by her son from the black market. The boy had a lot of money and became richer in food after getting married.
"Sister-in-law, you can't finish all these lychees. Why not just dry them into dried lychees?"
"My husband Lu likes to eat lychees, so I won't dry them. I plan to make a few bottles of canned lychees with sugar. Xiaoyu, Xiaochen, and Jin'er are not at home, so I have to save some for them."
When the children are not at home, fresh lychees will definitely not last a week. However, homemade canned lychees can have a shelf life of one month without any problem.
Hua Min originally planned to send about ten pounds of lychees back to her parents, but she was busy, so she simply made some more canned lychees and asked her younger sister to bring some back next time she came home.
When Lu Ting learned that his mother bought sugar to make canned lychees, he did not object. He just told his father that if there were not enough lychees at home, he could go to their house to get some more.
No matter how much Lu Yiming liked to eat lychees, he was just a child and was lucky enough to eat a few a day. Hua Jing had toothache after eating lychees for two days, so she didn't dare to eat them anymore. So she dug out the flesh of the remaining lychees and dried them in the sun.
When Su Yan came back from vacation, she found out that her mother-in-law had made canned lychees and her aunt had made dried lychees. She was so amused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Xiaoyan, I asked Xiaoting to bring you some lychees, but he said he was busy. So I dried the remaining lychees into dried lychees."
"Thank you, Auntie. You can save the dried lychees and use them to make chicken soup in the winter."
"good."
In the evening, Su Yan asked Lu Ting, "Have you found someone to pick the lychees?"
"I've found it. How many kilograms of lychees are there in the space?"
"It's over 60,000 pounds. Does your friend have a car? There's not enough space for that many frames."
"If there are no baskets, we'll use woven bags. My friend will transport the lychees to surrounding cities. 10,000 kilograms will be left in Beijing. I guess by then our supply and marketing cooperative will also have lychees to sell."
"Are we going back to town tonight?"
"We'll go out after my aunt goes to sleep, and come back after we finish the transaction in the evening."
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Ting drove the military car and took Su Yan to the city. The guard asked them what they were doing outside, and they casually said they were going to see a doctor and the guard let the car pass.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Lu Ting was doing business with a man with glasses at twelve o'clock. Su Yan did not show up at all except for moving the lychees into the courtyard. She sat in the space waiting to collect the money.
At half past one, the group of people took away 60,000 kilograms of lychees in two trucks. As soon as the people over there left, Su Yan pulled Lu Ting into the space.
